One 77-year-old’s search for the truth: 9/11, election fraud, illegal wars, Wall Street criminality, a stolen nuke, the neocon wars, control of the U.S. government by global corporations, the unjustified assault on Social Security, media complicity, and the "Great Recession" about to become the second Great Depression. "The most important truths are hidden from us by the powerful few who strive to steal the American dream by keeping We the People in the dark."

Paul Craig Roberts tells it like is. We are all enslaved. How lucky we are to be so beloved by our Great Democratic Government. Indeed, the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has issued an all points bulletin urging its members to wake up and to urge their US Senators “to oppose the American Health Care Act passed by the House. This harmful bill gives billions of dollars to special interests while sticking ordinary Americans with huge premium hikes. It includes an age tax that would force older Americans to pay thousands of dollars more for their health insurance. it weakens Medicare and removes protections for people with pre-existing conditions." Therfore it is urged that you represent your own interests—not those of the drug and insurance companies.

Once Only Blacks Were Enslaved, Now We All Are

The 4th of July is upon us. We will hear all sorts of patriotic BS
about how wonderful we are and how thankful we are to our brave military
which defends our liberty.

Not a word will be said about the destruction by the Bush and Obama
regimes of the US Constitution, which once protected our liberty far
better than any military action.

Not a word will be said about Washington’s 16 years of purely
gratuitous war in the Middle East and North Africa that has destroyed in
whole or part seven countries, sending millions of war refugees to
overrun the Western World and change the quality of life for Western
peoples.

Not a word will be said about Washington’s ongoing insane
provocations of Russia and China and Iran and Syria and North Korea that
are likely to end in nuclear Armageddon.

While we listen to speeches of our wonderful fairy tale life, how
lucky we are to be so beloved by our Great Democratic Government, the
American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has issued an all points
bulletin urging its members to wake up and to urge their US Senators “to
oppose the American Health Care Act passed by the House. This harmful
bill gives billions of dollars to special interests while sticking
ordinary Americans with huge premium hikes. It includes an age tax that
would force older Americans to pay thousands of dollars more for their
health insurance. it weakens Medicare and removes protections for people
with pre-existing conditions. I urge you to represent my interests—not
those of the drug and insurance companies.”

The last sentence astounded me. How is it possible that a lobby
group for retired people can possibly believe that the House and Senate
have any interest in serving the American people?

The House and Senate serve the people who have money, and those
people are not the elderly. Thanks to the Federal Reserve, the elderly
have not had any interest income on their savings for a decade.

Moreover, thanks to jobs offshoring, the middle class is shrinking,
and grandparents are having to support out of their savings both
children and grandchildren. Savings are being drawn down and used up.
Retired Americans simply do not have the resources to compete in
Washington with the pharmaceutical and insurance corporations who are
determined to pillage the elderly.

In the USA money resides in the hands of the military/security
complex, the Israel Lobby (US taxpayers give the money to them), Wall
Street and the Banks Too Big To Fail, real estate and insurance, and
environmental polluters such as energy, mining, electricity production,
and agribusiness. No one else has any money. Therefore, these interest
groups determine US domestic and foreign policy.

The policy of the US government is easy to sum up. It consists of
driving the American population into the ground and fomenting war
abroad. This is what serves the money interests that control the
government.

Democracy does not exist in America. All the bombast you will hear on the 4th is designed to keep you locked in The Matrix.

The talk about “taking back your government” is nonsense. The government doesn’t belong to you. You can’t take it back.

Chris Hedges says that your only alternatives are to overthrow the criminal class in Washington or to accept your slavery.
